Jefferies commented on Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ) after the company posted a greater than expected 4Q11 loss on bad debt provision and FX loss.

The firm comments, " The stock declined 13% on soft 1Q12 shipment and GM guidance. We believe the stock pullback may be overdone considering that CSIQ targets to derive 25% of its revenue from higher margin system business in 2012, going to 40% in 2013. We expect the company to earn $0.50/share in 2013."

The firm maintained their Hold rating and price target of $2.50.

Q1 EPS was cut from ($0.02) to ($0.66), FY12 cut from $0.33 to ($1.54) and FY13 raised from $0.46 to $0.50.
